Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Quite backward and a little more backward on the nose than the Helden. Much more refined and reserved here, more mineral focus, slate stone and pear, alcohol of just 7%, entirely build on elegance and refinement. Stunning.

GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of upmost importance. A wine’s history – where it’s sourced from and how it’s been stored – can have an enormous influence on the eventual enjoyment it provides. At Justerini & Brooks, we can trace nearly every case back to the domaine, estate or Château it originally came from; we ship from over 200 wine producers throughout the world.

Wines not bought directly from the vineyard are either sourced from trusted suppliers, with whom we share the same philosophy and rigour in buying, or from our own network of Cellarers customers. These customers’ wines are stored in optimal conditions in Octavian Corsham and, in the vast majority of cases, have been stored by us since the wine was first shipped. We do not purchase wine from auctions.

We feel it is equally important to for our customers that the case they buy and leave in storage with us is exactly the same case they subsequently have delivered. This may sound obvious and straightforward, yet we are one of very few merchants to have taken measures to ensure this.

We have created a system where every case is independent, thereby ensuring a trail of ownership and peace of mind for every customer.

The Journey

Justerinis ensures that every case of wine stored with Cellarers (Wines) Ltd has a unique identifier and customer’s name, almost unheard of in the industry as it is expensive to administer. These details are printed and placed on every case which is logged and recorded under your account name and kept in the world’s most renowned storage facility, Octavian Corsham.

This information is sent from our systems to the warehouse every day to ensure the trail of ownership is verified and upheld.

While customer reserves are stored in Corsham, our physical stocks are kept in Hoddesdon, further providing a geographical separation between customers’ wines with Cellarers and Justerinis’ own stock.

Further Reassurance

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is a legally separate limited company from Justerini & Brooks which currently holds approximately £450 million worth of customer reserves. It is fully insured to catastrophic loss. Many merchants will state that wine in their care is fully insured, but in reality this is on an individual case basis with insufficient cover for total loss as this is prohibitively expensive. The cover provided by Octavian and Justerini & Brooks is unmatched.

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is audited by PwC every year.

David Schildknecht,

Vinous

This is looser in palate impression than the corresponding Niederberg Helden, but equally delicate and no less juicy. A musky, sweaty side of botrytis – albeit segueing into slight fermentative stink – comes to the fore in the nose, but the peachy fruit is purer than expected, and the finish refreshes and stimulates even as it caresses, with an undertone of set stone serving to remind us that we’re on the Mosel.

Stephan Reinhardt,

The 2014 Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese (AP #11) offers clear, intense and very ripe, but still bright and healthy fruit on the nose. Sweet, piquant and very fine on the palate, this is a noble Spatlese with a stunning concentration, but a lovely raciness, as well as lingering salinity and mineral grip in the finish. Very young, but worth it to be aged for 15-25 years.
